Seattle excels in many things, and an abundance of game stores — and board-game, puzzle and trading card enthusiasts — is one of them. If you need a gift at the last minute, many of these local businesses are also offering curbside pickup, as well as gift cards.
(Board games and card games are also great for hanging out with your kid while no one looks at a screen.)
